This year’s Back to School Bash was held on August 9, 2025 from 10 am to 3 pm at Del Monte Center in Monterey. Parents had the opportunity to meet and chat with representatives of local businesses and organizations and learn about what they offer families. Plus, there were free activities including face painting, arts & crafts, games, giveaways, and more. And, we had another of Poptopia’s beautiful balloon backdrops for great back-to-school photos.
Our next event will be the Summer Fun and Camp Expo in March. Details to come soon!
